HYPERURICEMIA AS A FACTOR OF RISK OF SOME NONINFECTIOUS DISEASES IN CHUVASHIA POPULATION

The relation of hyperuricemia with obesity, arterial hypertension, hyp erlipoproteinemia, high intensity of lipid peroxidation, hyperinsuline mia, diabetoid carbohydrate disturbances (abnormal tolerance to carboh ydrates and type II diabetes mellitus) has been investigated in an epi demiological survey of a random population. The study covered 594 citi zens of Chuvashia aged 16-65 years (mean age 39.4+/-0.5 years). Hyperu ricemia is down to be related with hyperlipidemia, arterial hypertensi on, obesity, high activity of lipid peroxidation and hyperinsulinemia. It is evident that on the population level hyperuricemia may serve an indicator of hormonal-metabolic athero-, diabetogenic shifts.
